Now TV question

Is it true that for the Entertainment package, none of the channels are HD, and none of the box sets HD ?

All looks pretty crisp and HD on my 42 inch.

It sometimes takes 10-20 seconds to buffer into HD when the program starts, that's all you should really see.

Live TV is SD, but On demand and Box sets are 720p HD.

But crucially (at least for me) not if you're using a PC with Windows 7.

I'm confused when it says Windows 8 On Demand is 720p. Does that mean a PC running Windows 8 ?

Yes, on demand means playing an old episode as opposed to streaming whatever is on live TV right now.

Yes, but the question was, what does "Windows 8" actually mean ? Does that apply to PC, phone and tablet ? For example, is a Windows 8 PC a "PC" so On Demand = SD resolution, or is it "Windows 8" so On Demand = 720p ?
